Thanks for your > opinions. Hi Janet I am typing the info on these wills exactly as written. In the will of James Watson, in 1820, it states that the two youngest dtrs were Eleanor and HETTY, and then it mentions" Eleanor and Hetty's children." To me it looks like "future children". The two eldest dtrs married names were mentioned, so in 1820 it looks like Eleanor & Hetty weren't married yet. There is no "Hetty Watson" listed in the marriage records, so she either married out of the county or maybe died young. Jean
